A Unique Interview With a Sad Blog :10 Blog Blunders

2015-04-02T07:17:00.000-07:00

Being a blogger I focus on quality of content and its uniqueness .I don’t have much experience with modification and search engine optimization .But when I observe professional pro bloggers they have something in common..

KEEP THE THINGS SIMPLE!

Starting a blog is very funny and amazing for new bloggers. Millions of tutorial is out there to add every attractive thing into blog, changing templates and adding animations like flying twitter bird J

Few days ago I was thinking what a blog would say if it was a living thing .I am making this post as if I am interviewing a blog with many problems with it .The following problems are mentioned by one of the blog when I interviewed !

I am colorful

The blog complained that it is very colorful and attractive, which means people will get a feeling of less professionalism of blog owner. Colors show the creativity of blogger but too many colors can ruin the blogger template.

I have too many widgets

Blog is sad because it is over burdened with unnecessary widgets .some of them doesn't load even after refreshing many times. This will impact the page views and readers directly. According to my own experience I don’t visit blogs with too many irrelevant widgets and popups .because it is a disturbing experience to read an article without concentration in the middle of so many widgets and popups.

I have so many links on the Homepage

Another complains blog has mentioned is abundance of links on homepage .this problem effects loading speed and template navigation becomes difficult for readers

I am stuffed with irrelevant posts

When I asked the blog about its niche and category, it was confused and was unable to tell me properly .This was because there were many posts which are not relevant to the main topic of blog. In the same way it is difficult for search engines to understand the niche of a blog with irrelevant posts and topics. We must focus on the niche and we should post keeping in view the relevancy.

I have duplicate content

According to the blog, it has duplicate content and it blamed the blog owner that he copied and pasted from other sites over the web.

After the recent Google update, it will be difficult for duplicate content to make its way to the top, therefore we should take our time to deliver unique articles because search engines as well as readers love to read unique posts.

People don’t know who is my owner-About page?

Blog has another problem of identity. Its feels like nobody know about its owner because there is no “about me OR about us” page.

Blog is right it should be entitled for about us page .it becomes easy for readers and visitors to know who the owner is and another advantage is trustworthiness of blog boosts .People love to come again if they have an idea to remember the blog owner.

I don’t have an idea of Privacy policy

Blog demands a “Privacy Policy” page. According to many experts 2014 was the year of hackers .The blog is right about this fact that there should be a privacy policy page .We must show how we respect the privacy of readers and how we will use their data and how we will track their search habits. It boosts reader’s confidence in our blog.

My loading speed is like tortoise!

Frankly speaking blog’s eyes were full of tears while telling me this fact.it said that many readers and visitors fall asleep while I take time to load .This is another problem for mostly all blogs. With every post we make and every modification done with blog .Its loading speed decreases. We must have a close check on loading speed.

I don’t have my own house!

When that blog said “I don’t have my own house” .it made me feel to host my own domain on a suitable and best hosting service .There are many advantages .The hard work we do on our blog goes to us directly and search engine optimization boosts the blog directly instead of contributing the juice toward the hosting service.

I don’t have an insurance Policy!

This is not an ordinary or general insurance policy. Actually blogs said that as it don’t own a house (own domain) .It means its living in a rental apartment and its up to the owner when to expel it or stop it from living there. In the same way I am worried about my blog I don’t know when my blog will display a 404 page “This Blog Is Not Available! “

Over to You J

Thanks God My Blog is not a living human being otherwise; I could have many questions to face daily !

But its complain is adequate and legitimate .Every blogger should take these aspects into account for the betterment of his blog.

Have I missed any problem or question? Please leave your feedback in comments .keep visiting

5 Best Free Blogging Platforms You Won't Like To Miss

2015-03-30T15:10:00.002-07:00

After the arrival of social media sites as Facebook,twitter,Google plus .Many of us thought that blogging era is about to end .But what happened next .In fact social media sites are dependent on blogging sites to stay up to date .It doesn't make any sense of existing social media sites with out posts as What is Blogging ? .How to Blog?.How to make money online? .

Ultimately bloggers are working hard to promote and update social media sites beside their own blog's promotion.This is a two way highway or we may say it is a "give and take" situation.Blogging sites update social media and in return they send readers and audience to the final destination and origin of the content created.

Now ! One question is trending now a days "What are free blogging sites ? "
I have a list of top 5 blogging sites with details .This post is especially for new bloggers stumbling here and there in search of a suitable blogging platform .

Well known blogging sites list is :

1 : Wordpress :

According to thousands of experts wordpress is the most reliable and top notch blogging platform with two options .First is free one with ads and second one is premium .As compared to blogger or in other words blogspot it is bit complicated and i think it is not suitable for newbies ,especially the learners.
With wide range of plugins wordpress succeeded to maintain its position on top of all blogger sites.

2-Blogspot :

Here comes the second to wordpress .This platform is provided free by Google and now its fully integrated with deep Google products. Blogger is suitable for learners as well as experts .With almost full customization blogger proves to be a heaven for starters.
When it comes to comparison blogger has fewer options regarding plugins and search engine optimization.

3- Tumblr :

This is another top socio-bloging platform driving millions of users .I said this because I noticed more active users as compared to all social sites,WordPress and blogger .Tumblr is also easily understandable and customizable with thousands of free and premium themes .
Some #SEO boost arrangements are made in it but not better then top sites above .I guess in future tubmlr will compete social sites not blogs !

4-LiveJournal :

This site offers free blogging and little bit complicated and old fashioned.With the passage of time all sites tried to modify their looks but livejournal tried to keep the heritage within it.Best platform for interaction with community or like minded people .

5- Weebly :

Another widely accepted and used blogging platform provider. With free and pro options weebly is great asset for bloggers .I tested this platform and I found it useful .
According to my observation blogs and posts made on weebly are indexed by search engines with lightning speed .The reason can be better #SEO and its layout and design are search engine friendly .

Final Words :

In my opinion blogger is best platform until you become familiar with all tips of blogging .Before going for paid blogging ,you should start practicing with free platforms .Just like players practice for cricket for many weeks before going for world cup :)

Best of luck . But I know you are expert ! If I missed something .Your feedback shall be appreciated in comments .

Blog Traffic: 15 Things Your Boss Expects You Know About Traffic

2015-03-29T02:29:00.000-07:00

Every Newbie wanders how to generate enough traffic from search engines or even any referral site, because they are not in a position to spend dollars on advertising campaigns.

The only key to success lies in hard work and it takes so much time then we expect.

I have been blogging since 2009 and i learned many steps to generate enough traffic to get noticed.

Here we go !

Stumble Upon is good source of traffic if content is submitted to relevant category.
Your blog post Title should be attention gaining.
Do not write keywords in the middle of the post .It should be in first 50 words. It will make it easy for search engines to understand your post content.
Write at least 400 words post.
Write Unique content as search engines can detect plagiarism much quicker than you think.
No copy paste!
Pinterest can get you more traffic then you imagine if you manage to grab the attention of users by posting eye catching images with link of your post .Pinterest generates considerable traffic when your account reach more than 1000 followers.
As everyone says! Share your content to social media giants like Facebook, Twitter and many more.
Social bookmarking can get you some blog traffic .Submit your content to Reddit,Digg,Delicious.
Submit your post to Storify .There are two-fold advantage of this .It can improve your Page Rank and second it can get you some traffic of serious readers.
Submit your content to like minded groups on facebook.
Join communities on Google Plus relevant to your niche.
Use relevant HashTags #Techseology ! so that it will be attached to a relevant topic and it makes the post easily discoverable .
Blog directories like technorati can boost page rank as well as send some traffic too.
Comment on top blogs provided that they are #Commentluv enabled .I tried this method myself and it is fruitful for me .

These as some legitimate traffic generation steps .It will consume your time and even you will feel headache but surely it will lead your blog to success .

Final Words :

Be consistent ! Do not lose hope .Encourage yourself and discourage illegal ways to get traffic like auto surf sites .Remember that these sites are harmful for your blog .

Have i missed something ?

I would love read your suggestions .
